The No. 8 Cougars and No. 9 Red Raiders meet this week in Lubbock, a game with plenty of Big 12 championship implications.

Lane Kiffin and the Rebels remain firmly in the College Football Playoff race, ESPN insiders believe Ole Miss is in.

A league that hasn’t won a national championship in two decades and scraps for a piece of the spotlight that shines brighter on the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference is basking in the possibility.

Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht accounted for 100 yards passing in his first three attempts and Iowa State opened the game with a 75-yard touchdown. Hill brought a blitz on the first play, leaving the back end of his defense out of place for a quick strike downfield.

Luckily for BYU fans, the Cougars stand atop of the Big 12 standings at 8-0 and 5-0 in conference play — the only overall unbeaten squad remaining in the league, and, along with Cincinnati, the only team to remain unblemished in Big 12 play.

Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, TX is the location where Behren Morton and the Texas Tech Red Raiders will attempt to beat the BYU Cougars on Saturday, November 8, 2025. Prop bets start at 18 pass completions, 28 pass attempts, and 235 passing yards for Morton.
